with hoga offering a couple of spots both Ross and I jumped at the chance. we left m'bar around 1pm and headed for the banks. we drifted a couple of spots with plans to anchor up on the best spot before sunset,
all went well a couple of maori cod, job fish and a parrot soon hit the deck, then the snapper started working the way up the burley trail and for the next couple of hours we landed around 20 snapper and about 6 or so perlies then brian got excited when he landed a nice red .then thing slowed down for the night.but Ross kept catching trevally keeping them away from Brian and my baits
sunday morning started of a little slower but with the esky full and great conditiond who cares. a few more snapper were caught and releases some over the 3kg mark.
brian called plan b as we had reached our limit of snapper and as the last rod was brought up a school of dollies followed the bait up. So we all droped our baits over again and soon we had 2 in the boat.
But as brian was taking the hook out of the leaping dollie it jumped and planted one of the ganged hooks straight into the top of his hand.(sorry no pic's)
We all jumped on the fish and reached for the plyers to get it out and all I could hear was the sound of my baitrunner screaming with my first dollie on it getting away.
we then headed for some shallow grounds but with little success and back to the ramp by around 9-9.30am
thanks for a great day hoga & Ross
